So the tach wouldn't register after the truck was started?

On an 05, no start with no codes I usually suspect an HPO leak also. Search STC fitting for MUCH more information.

It sounds like the tach is out of alignment. That can be fixed by resetting the cluster. The starting problem could be a High Pressure Oil problem or it could be a FICM problem.

As far as codes, what are you using to try to read them? Some code scanners won't read codes from a Powerstroke.

To reset the cluster, hold the trip meter reset button down and turn the key on. The cluster will enter it's test mode. Press the trip meter button until the gauges sweep. That should realign them.
